Title: Pilot signal power control in a wireless communication system
Inventor: AWAD AKRAM JAMAL MASOUD
IPC: H04W52/32
Filed: 2012-12-13
Abstract: An access point (104) for a cellular communication system is arranged to control the transmit power of its pilot signal by switching the pilot signal periodically between an "on" state and an "off" state with configurable "on" and "off' times. The "on" time is set to be long enough for a wireless communication unit (105) to perform power measurements of the pilot signal. This reduces the likelihood of pilot signal interference in neighbouring cells. The access point (104) may also switch over to operating in a continuous pilot signal transmission mode in order to improve a handover or cell selection process. The access point (104) can also be arranged to transmit the mark:space ratio of the pilot signal for reception by a user equipment (105). This permits the user equipment (105) to modify its thresholds for RSCP and Ec/No calculations accordingly.
